Existence of an evident problem…
Minimum tillage and direct
seeding are developping quickly.
However, the main problem that remains is the vegetation
residue management,
and over all
the stubble when it is long.
With a certain risk at decreasing the performances of the
combines, it is possible to cut them in mowing lower.
Another very costly solution consists in chopping the
stubble after the harvest.
The
solution:
In practice…
We came up with an idea :
to invent a chopper that would not make extra work for the
combine’s driver.
For this reason, the driver has at its disposal controls in
the cab.
At work, once the height of
chopping is decided, the chopper is provided with many
devices: rotation’s control, reading the topographical
layout of the land regardless of the height of the header,
elevating during any manoeuvers at the end of the field and
erasing in case of obstacle.
